The urdcr of Ncwkirk. The Rockville Republican, thiB week, contains further particulars of the cocardly murder of John Newkirk by Robarrls: "The movements of the two men. Robards and Davis, from the time they loft Armstrong's barn until John Newkirk was shot, can now be followed almost to a minute. They went direct to their homes, procured guns and returned to seek the marshal with the expressed intention of k'lling him on sight. Robards waited outside of his own house, crouched down in the shadow of the fence, until joined by Davie, who had gone to hie own house to get his weapon. They went on a run back towards Armstrong's barn where the marshal was supposed to have gone to arreBt them for the assault on young burton. There was no one around the barn by this time and both men returned on their route down to the railroad tracks, concealed themselves in the Bhade of the cars until the marshal appeared on his way to Robard'a house to look for him, then they cautiously advanced from out the shadow aud tired. This is no surmise. It can be proven by sworn testimony."

The St, Louta'Cyclone. Nothing, 6ince the Johnstown Hood of seven or eight|years ago, has been more disastrous to life and property than the cyclone which struck St. Louis on Wednesday evening, about 5 o'clock, p. m. Within the space of thirty minuteB between 300 and 400 persons had lost their lives, and property, to the value of $10,000,000, destroyed. The cyclone began in the south-east part of St. Louis and pursued a north-east course, crossing the Mississippi at the Eads bridge. Large numbers of brick and frame buildings were toppled over and those in them or near them, in hundreds of instances, either killed or wounded them. Boats in the river were blown over and sunk with passengers in many of them. A train of care was upset, a portion of the east end of the groat Eads bridge destroyed, and at east St. Louis tbe IOBB of life and property was enormous.

Turned Milliliter. Perry Martin, Bchool teacher, has taken a step up, haB abandoned teaching the young idea how to shoot, and will seek hereafter to turn Binners to repeDtence, having become a minister in the Christian denomination. He will probably aosume charge of a congregation at William port within a few weeks.

Wilted Corn nml Wheut.

The high winds of Wednesday night are said to have wilted both corn and wheat in many localities of the county within the path of it. The wind must have been exceedingly warm to have exerted this influence with vegetation.

Rev. J. G. Stephens will deliver the memorial address at Mace to-day. Court3 of Ben Hur have been organized at Brownsburg and Shelbyville.

Joe Taylor will have Vinelees Sweet Potato Plants for sale a 28-n The BtODe flagging in front of Barnbill, Hornady & Picket's is being extended two feet in length by cementing.

The mothar of George and William Allen died on Wednesday and waa buried tbe next day. Her age was 83 years. The Bons reside in Brazil.

James McNamee was cr-ested and placed in ja.l Saturday, night, for resisting an officer. He thought the officer would not take him but was fuoied after a severe whipping.

The New S'ork Journal on Thursday otfered Gen. Wallace $1,000 to proceed to St. Louis at once and furnish that paper full and complete reports of the cyclone damages, but the offer was declined.

Thursday morning the barn of James Kincade, a mile north of New Richmond, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. Some wheat and oats were burned with the buildiDg. There was an insurance of 9800 on the building.

Joseph H. Lyons, residing oo Morgan street, aged 88 years, died on Wednesday night. He had resided here for many years, and two of his children, Mrs. James Vanarsdal and Mrs. Alexander, survive him. The funeral occurred yesterday afternoon.

Joseph Trask, the eaBt Main street groceryman, WBB seriously injured on Friday morning, by being thrown from a wagon. He was driving a horse at the time in tbe north-west part of town, which became scared and unmanageable. Two of his ribs were broken by the fall from the wagon.

And Henri Waa Defeated.

In the suit brought by the Wingate Knights of Pythias against Henri Watterson of the LouiBville Courier Journal for failure to deliver his lecture in that town, in February of 1895, and which was heard in the Fountain circuit court a few days ago, judgment was rendered in favor of the Knights, they having attached the box receipts $134.00 of his lecture delivered at Attica, Ind. Watterson, it is thought, imbibed too much red liquor on the day he was to be in

Wingate and forgot probably all about his previous engagement. The Wingate peoplefor their next lecturer will probabl selecct an avowed prohibitionist.

Tcrrc Haute Booming# The local brick-yards of Terrs Haute are not capable of turning out material fast enough to supply the home demand and Root & Co., who are erecting a fifty thousand-dollar store building, have been compelled to send to Indianapolis for 400,000 brick, with which to complete their contract. There are a one hundred-thouBand-dollar church, a fifty thousand-dollar-dollar depot, a two hundred-thousand-dollar distillery, two thirty-thousand-dollar school buildings and several lass important structujeB to be built there this season and contractors are beginning to wonder where they are to obtain sufficient material.

fioprene Court Decision. 17,749, Boots vs. Ristine. Montgomery C. C. Affirmed. Hackney, C.J. 1. When a demurrer is addressed to two or more paragraphs or answer jointly if either pargraph is sufficient the demurrer will not avail. 2. An execution creditor may make

a valid purchase without paying the amount of the principle debt to the sheriff, whsre, in lieu thereof, he receipB to the sheriff for that amount and where there is no question of his first right to the fund otherwise paid to the sheriff.

Our City It*l»t. The exact figures of our city debt as furnished by City Treasurer Nicholson are given as $G5,56G.C6. Of this amount §4,300 to the Canton Bridge Co. will be paid this month and $5,000electric light

bonds

will be paid in June next. This would reduce it to about 855,000. It would seem with ordinary prudence and a determination to retrench, with the further epirit prevailing to make no expenses except those absolutely necessary that Crawfordsville can be out of debt within four years.

The republicans have organized drum corps for the campaign.
